Last week I mentioned PADI was making their Rescue Diver course available for eLearning. PADI Instructor News has the details. One interesting note, instructors have to give students an in-person quiz to ensure they adequately learned the material from online.

Aquaviews profiles the Dutch Springs dive site. It’s a retired rock quarry used for check-out dives. I thought I should add a more somber note to the tone of the article. Bottom line, Dutch Springs is really only worth going to for certification dives, and then only if there’s no where else you can go. Visibility is low, the water is freezing, and there’s nothing really to see. I don’t think many people go there just for the sake of diving.

Those familiar with Bonaire are probably familiar with the Bonaire webcams. Diverwire reports that there are several new webcams up, including some underwater.

DivePhotoGuide posted a crazy little story about running into an alligator while diving. Included are pictures and videos. Read the story for the surprise ending. For those that know their reptiles, I already told you the surprise.

Wishing everyone out there a pleasant Hump Day!
